STASSEN'S TALK WITH STALIN
CALLED PUBLICITY GESTURE
WASHINGTON. Musings upon
reading Hnrold Stasscn's Interview
with Generalissimo Stalin:
"Stalin assures Stasscn press
abroad distorts Soviet News." (My
goodness gracious Stalin assures
us we nre always wrong again. Is
there any news in that?)
"Calls Herald Tribune outstand-
ing: newspaper." (I hope he never
calls me un outstanding journalist
because then I will know I am
wrong.)
"Now accredits its correspond-
ent." (Ahn! I sec the Trlb got its
man into Moscow permanently and
by "permanently" I do mean at
Stalin's future pleasure.)
"Says he tried ending; censorship
Itot bad results." (When? I never
heard of it. A man with so much to
conceal must necessarily hnvecen-
sorship.) "MOSCOW Stasscn talk with
Stalin; subject Russo - American
press relations (Two people who are
experts on the subject?) While Stas-
scn making fact-finding tour." (I'll
bet the only facts he got in Moscow
were those given by Stalin's people
for their own purposes.)
"Stalin says he tried relaxation of
censorship with unsatisfactory re-
sults because the American news-
paper made the Soviet government
out to be a zoological garden." (In
other words if the' American news-
paper will print what Stalin wants
and never make a mistake ho
might relax censorship and he is to
be the sole judge of when a mistake
has been made.)
RUSSIAN 'ACCIDENTS'
Stalin replied that the refusal to
admit a permanent New York
Herald Tribune correspondent had
been the result of 'an accident in
our policy.' " (Of course they never
moke mistakes in Russia. They only
make accidents. Me und nn atheis-
tic Gott which is me tool But
sometimes Stalin cannot be so sure
his atheistic self-Gott docs not lead
him into or ah what shall we say
accidents?)
"It is an outstanding newspaper"
he said. (Gosh these Russians nre
certainly learning how to get pub-
licity in the United States. They
take the leading Republican jour-
nal which incidentally is really
what that newspaper is and they
salve themselves up to a two
column top head and a completely
detailed story on page 1.)
"Two diys after the interview (no
newspaperman could get one) the
Soviet government actually began
to correct the 'accident' and ap-
proved the admission of a perma-
nent correspondent of the Herald
Tribune." (Well well well. It had
nothing to do with the 'accident' the
Tribune made in accepting the full
page ad of the Communist party
carrying the patent medicine propa-
ganda so raw the party was not
even allowed to palm it off on a con-
gressional committee and inviting
Republicans to send in their con-
tributions to pay the cost of the ad.)
And so on. . . . and so on. . . . how
long how long?
At the risk of making 'an acci-
dent' myself because I nm only a
newspaper man of 28 years' experi-
ence watching how these things
work from the inside I would say
the explanation might be found in
these following facts.
CAMPAIGN LAGGING
Stassen's presidential campaign
has not been going well. The rather
obvious reason was that the govern-
ment and its popular foreign policy
(so popular it has been approved by
both parties) did not leave Stassen
much room to popularize himself.
So he went to Russia. Willkie came
up to popularity that way once. But
things were different then. The
Soviet government then was not so
obvious to so many people. It had
not yet disclosed its intents and pur-
poses in actions before the U. N. in
London in Paris and yes even in
Moscow conferences.
nowever Stasscn must have
bad an experienced publicity
adviser who knew that he was
not getting much play in the
American press. He was just
one of a large number of presi-
dential candidates and what he
said was not as important as
what some of the others were
doing. But "fact-finding" in Eu-
rope would give him the play.
The trouble with this game is
we all played it before. Think-
ing people would have to forget
so much to believe it again. In
fact they would have to forget
all they know to be true.
Now here in this very case Stalin
alu wnai no always huh none uciore.
He never relaxed a bit to Stnssen
or the American press or deviated
the slightest bit from his censorship
or purposes. He kept all he wanted
and got the American press to ploy
up its own faults It all worked out
his way. We get nothing. The Trib
got its correspondent back but I
wonder if it would not have been
better for him to be out as all he
will get is the stuff Stalin's clique
wants him t6 print
I think both Stalin and Stassen
need new press agents.

Inflationary Prico Trend
Worrying Farm Loaders
PARMERS along with the rest
1 of the citizenry arc feeling the
pinch of high prices and paying the
penalty for whatever part they
played in kicking out price controls.
Executive committees of three of
the four major farm organizations
meeting hero recently expressed
"grave concern" over the price sit-
uation and adopted a resolution in
which they 'Viewed the present in-
flationary price trends" with alarm
and urged lenders in Industry agri-
culture labor and government to
"join in a concerted effort to holt this
dangerous trend."
In the first week of last November
your home town reporter wrote in
this column concerning the artificial
meat shortage and the withholding
of livestock from the markets by
farmers. . . . "The shortsighted
farmers who participated in this
conspiracy this strike against price
control will not gain In the long
run. As meat goes up prices of
other farm produce likely wilt go
down and most surely the prices of
commodities that farmers buy will
rise and stay up for some time .. .
it's a strike for higher prices Iden-
tically the same as when the la-
borer walks off his job in a strike
for higher wages. The farmer gains
nothing and neither docs the la-
borer for both arc helping to build
up the spiral of Increasing cost of
living for everything they buy."
Some of our former friends
clilded us about that column and
said "No it's not a strike it's good
business." While the leaders of the
farm groups meeting here the
Farm Bureau federation the Na-
tional Grange and the National Co-
operatives publicly attempted to
clear their own skirts of any blame
for the present high prices by adopt-
ing a resolution to that cfTcct pri-
vately and off the record they ad-
mitted their sense of guilt. They
further sought to quibble somewhat
by protesting against the practice
of government and private groups
to use the 1935-30 period as a base
for making price comparisons
claiming that farm prices during
that period were 1G per cent below
parity. So what? They are now
many of them 200 per cent and
morc aboVc parity.
'Payments Mean Controls'
The farm leaders were able to
agree upon parts of their program
which they now are presenting to
the house agricultural committee in
hearings on a long range farm pro-
gram The grange wants to do
somctning now about parity prices
but the Form Bureau would rntlior
wait until next year when present
parity ratios expire. Some were
hopeful of eliminating the New Deal
triple A control program and were
somewhat staggered when Cong.
Clifford R. Hope of Kansas Repub-
lican chairman of the house agri-
cultural committee bluntly told
them "Prico stability is impossible
unless farmers accept controls "
Which means continued acreage
controls support prices conserva-
tion controls etc.
The farm leaders expressed jeal-
ous concern over proposed slashing
of department of agriculture budg-
ets and although they agreed that
some budgets must be cut perhaps
20 per cent they definitely wanted
no cuts in REA school lunches re-
search and marketing.
Indicating the split in the thinking
of the torm group one leader off
the record told your home town re-
porter "Yes we took our usual
slop at labor and demanded some
pretty drastic labor controls. If all
of us could only realize that the
workers are our best customers
and would work together Instead of
letting the big boys continually
drive a wedge between us we
would all be better off.
Nation-Wide Monopoly
"Suppose for instance" he said
"if in our fight for a new and higher
parity price on fnrm commodities
congress would fix a basic price and
Ihen say 'OK that price is all right
for New York Illinois Montana
Kansas or Nebraska but we'll cut
lt 20 per cent for Oklahoma and
Texas because living is cheaper
there; we'll cut it 30 per cent for
Arkansas Mississippi Alabama
and Georgia; we'll give Kentucky
and Tpnnessee a 10 per cent cut
and so on according to the indgx of
living in each state.' I wonder what
our formers would think of that?"
"And yet our 90 per cent of parity
guarantee by the government is the
result or our industry-wide bargain-
ing power the same price across
the country. It's a floor under our
wages. Call it monopolistic if you
want to. That's what wc have and
we're trying for a better bargain.
Why we should try to deny the same
Industry-wide bargaining right for
labor I don't know but we have
taken that stand."
Your home town reporter notes
that this represents some different
thinking from that usually expressed
at farm conferences.
